I am a year late posting these. I had intended to upload them long ago, but here we are. It's not entirely clear what some of the pictures are, so I'll give some context. One picture is taken with the rock door open showing the plugged cylinder. This was mostly caused by some Sumac that had been picked up and made worse by a very dense section of green weeds. We also had some trouble with the auger clutch on the grain table, plugging the head. We had a few opportunities to back up the head with our 24" pipe wrench we call "The Reverser". It lives full-time in the toolbox on the side of the combine. There are two pictures of West MAC in Newaygo Michigan. I hadn't been there in years. It looked a lot different than when I was there as a kid.       ------------- Machinery rescue for all things rusty or broken.

Do you mean the large cone-shaped one? That's grain storage. Prior to the steel roof it has now, it had an inflatable roof. I'm told that they bought it used from somewhere else. I'm not certain what the advantage is of that type of storage. It takes up a lot of ground compared to a typical grain bin. ------------- Machinery rescue for all things rusty or broken.

Yeah that's the one. I guess in a high wind situation it would be beneficial but, yeah it takes up a lot of space. What's the capacity compared to the other bins? ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

That's a good question. I am curious as well. Their website states that they have 4.24 million bushels of storage. When I was young I was told that the facility was previously a cement factory. ------------- Machinery rescue for all things rusty or broken.
